Fabian Mels

German Fabian Mels made his debut in ice cross downhill at the Red Bull Crashed Ice event in Munich in 2011 and was the best-placed rookie in the season.

The German put in a series of impressive displays to finish 6th overall in 2012, and improved on that the next years with a 5th place in 2014 and a currenct 8th World Ranking position.

Mels says he has not a specific plan for attacking the track, but you get a feeling for the ideal lines that you need to take in order to get down fast. He thrives on high-speed tracks and has proven he has got what it takes – courage, skills, and stamina – to race down ice tracks filled with bumps and hairpin turns all around the world.
